Discrimination is unacceptable

Discrimination, the unjust and prejudicial treatment of people, including women, those with different sexual preferences, and people of different races and religions, is wrong because it denies all people equality in rights and opportunities. Ethical Rights will focus on highlighting discrimination in society, and calling for the elimination of all invidious discrimination wherever it occurs.

A Submission on anti-discrimination and on The Imposition of Religious Views and Discrimination provide solid arguments against discrimination, whether it be on the basis of sex, sexual preference, race, genome, culture or other characteristic. It is important to distinguish between invidious discrimination (morally wrong becuase it unfairly disadvantages some groups of people over others) and appropriate differentiation (different sporting events based on sex and age, and different toilet facilities for males and females are regarded as acceptable).
